Then came the trouble… she said that because I only invested a little amount and that the money had skyrocketed the trading platform needed release fees of £, the next day this had gone upto , a couple of days passed and there was another problem she needed another , she said that she would pay the and waive her interest on the money as it had taken so long, I was skeptical and she ensured that after this payment the trading platform would send me a receipt of all the fees I had paid, they would refund the fees and the money would be released into the account.
Within an hour of me sending the money she has blocked me from messaging her and also on Instagram. I feel so stupid, in total she has taken £ Of my savings. She is still active on Instagram as I have checked from different account. Just feel like an absolute idiot. I was approached on d duplicate Instagram of a legitimate account. He taught me how to create a Bitcoin account step by step and then same story..
told me to deposit £ I told him I have no money as I just came from Holiday in Dubai.. I checked the website which was not licenced and read scam reviews and knew it was being duped, I lost £ and I count myself lucky the scams are getting sophisticated so always check their background. There is now profit about 20 EUR. He told me that I withdraw profit, but before I must Broker pay tax profit 2 EUR.
I search on internet more detailed and find that pictures of person David Charles on Instagram is another person name Dr. Steve G. Jones link removed. Hi Dale, I have gone through the same situation like the others in IG. After reading all of this, yes a little too late to realize that I also have been scammed in great scale. I wish I would have come across your blog earlier.
Hey Dale, there is a guy advertised as username removed on instagram who offers VIP signals. So far the signals seem to be worth while. But he also offers account management, so basically you hand over your mt4 account password. This you transfer daily via bank transfer. What are your thoughts? Or he changes my account password in order to holdy account to ransom I should be able to reset the password.
Based on his signals he seems to know what he is doing? In my opinion, it sounds like the oldest scam in the book. What you also have to remember is that often the brokers are in on these scams too. They found ME, I never searched for them. They all just started DMing me and talking about what they do. How do they even target me?! Hi there dale. Could you please tell me what should i do?? Thank you 😊. Avoid it! The same applies to any similar account.
I dm him after coming across his page.. In short, I was desperately wanted to earn money so that I can move out. So i invested and gave this person usd. She said she made and said the tax was After i paid the tax she would finalize the withdrawal. On top of that she said she had to pay for a IMF certificate to release the funds. I sadly sent this person usd of money I loaned from my friend.
Months have passed and I sent the money that I was suppose to pay rent with. Now I am late in 2 months of rent and I do not know what to do. I am scared to get an evictions notice. I gave her and just a few days ago I blocked her on everything. Discovering that this person was impersonating a Russian Invester called Nastya. YT is Nastya Docs. It shocked me but I had to look up proof finally. a lesson learned. Now I am here struggling to flip into euros by the end of nextweek.
Has anyone dealt with Layla Scott? Deals with a broker Microfxoptions. Is the ID even a real thing? Thank you for this post. It has enlightened me a lot. I should have done my research but the ignorant me still believed somewhere out there it is really true even though my friend advised me not too. Stubborn me.
It was me who found this person in Instagram. I do have a question. I learned the lesson the hard way. I totally ignored the messages. What do I do next? This person keeps telling me this investment is legit. I sent bitcoin, nothing happened. Please advise.
Thank you very much. DO NOT send them any more money. Is there any way to verify these proof of payments are true or not? Thanks for your website. There are SO many scams on the internet. If that were true, why the heck would people still be working at jobs? Hi Dale, is there a page we could collect all the possible scammers or their methods to protect other people.
Can you please check out an instagram account for me. He claims to have created a currency trading Robot. I was thinking to look for a demo account with indicators to assist me not to sign up with anyone from Instagram. I asked his name to google him and got no response. I think I really got the scammer shaking in his shoes. I just want other people to be aware this guy exits. I have the usd is now and it was traded by the person that approached me she is now telling me to verify my account.
Her name is Layla Regina she has the same pictures as layla scott and vlaims she is the original layla…has anyone had any contact with her? I had been contacted by Instagram contact to join. I got Suspicious after hour and no deposit. I Realize they tried to take over my Instagram account so I changed the password and put in the 2 way factor. After that I saw where they tried to log into my Instagram account.
So After that I let them know this is a scam. And now if you log in the page its show up as malware. And at the same time they stole my info. Forex Scam. I met someone on instagram as well.
Anyone heard of Live-binaryoptionstrade? I invested The trader said give her a week. Goes by Lisa Leslie on IG. After a week of trades now I have Im sure I got scammed. Why couldnt they just take the withdrawal fee from my account balance? She has been texting me daily to withdraw the money. Its doesnt seem right. Do not deposit or transfer any more money.
So the same happened to me but luckily my money is back, someone on instagram had dm me saying she works for forex. She tried to persuade me to join and everything and what was weird was that she asked for my whatsapp number. I was having a weird feeling that it might be a scam but not sure.
She told me i needed to purchase bitcoin from my cash app and send it to her and so I get more of the profit back. After that she told me I need a pin since I was suppose to get back 15, and I am guessing she has hacked my instagram and she changed my email and everything.
But I wanted to ask is this really a scam. Also Im not worried about my instagram as long as my money is safe. I have invested for RS. After an hour they mentioned that the server got hacked hence there was a huge loss. then, they asked me to send as a transaction fee. now they are asking me to send me as a processing fee so that they will transfer all the amount with profit with 2 mins. so I have paid a total of RS. Am I right in assuming this is a scam as well??? Your article is really helpful!
Hi KN, what you described there is exactly what I described in my article above. There is no mention of this company anywhere on his Instagram besides a link to his website.
We even signed a contract outlining this and other terms. When I first saw this investment opportunity, luuivee mentioned in a post that there was only a day or two left till the minimum deposit was raised to , Once I funded the account, he sent me a message saying that the system was down and they had to fix it. He stopped messaging me for a while until recently about buying an ai bot for and putting in dollars as a deposit to trade on lqdfx.
No mention at all about what I originally invested for. Also, now he has a post on instagram saying there is only a few days left before the price of the bot goes to Do you believe this could be a scam? Hello Sameel, the answer is yes — unfortunately that is a scam. You can attempt to withdraw your money but there is no guarantee that you will get it back. Out of date system?
Affiliate marketing is growing faster than ever, your loss if you miss out whilst everybody else gets involved. Could you help me out.
Living More Working Less. Can you really make money with these Instagram traders or is the whole thing just a scam? And if it is a scam, how are they actually making their money?
Instagram Trader Accounts Explained How Instagram Traders Really Make Money The Primary Targets For Forex Scammers The Potential Dangers The Bottom Line A Better Alternative. Now the thing that makes this extremely suspicious is the fact that the post is a promoted post, which means the account owner is literally paying out real money to have that post displayed in front of you….
And more often than not despite their profiles being jam-packed full of luxurious images many of these so-called millionaire traders are actually flat-out broke. Clearly this is not the case. As mentioned above the majority of these so-called Instagram traders are not actually doing any trading at all — and whilst some of them may indeed be doing a little bit of trading, that is not where the primary source of their income is coming from….
In fact, the whole thing is so bad that the US decided to completely ban binary options trading — and due to its insanely high risks, the UK had previously classified it as gambling rather than actual trading. Forbes too even published an article warning about the dangers of options trading as shown below:.
The reason? However once that follow button has been hit the account owner will often immediately send a direct message to the user trying to encourage them to get on board. This one story I previously published of what a binary options scam did to a single mum showed that rather than trading as she thought she was, she was essentially just playing a video game via the broker.
And it would be easy to get carried away with the deposits if you truly believe you are making so much money — but sadly when she came to make her withdrawal she was left to find out the hard way that she was not. So basically, in short, the brokers these Instagram Forex traders recommend are just set out to take as much cash from you as possible, and more often than not the Instagram traders themselves are set out to get you to deposit as much as possible because they are often paid higher bonuses based on how much you deposit.
The sad truth is that unfortunately most of the programs promising to help you make money online are scams. But the good news is that even though most of them are indeed scams, there are actually some very good programs in amongst them - some programs that can truly help you to earn money.
And out of all of the legit programs I've seen, the one I would recommend the most to anybody looking to get started online is Commission Academy. In my own opinion, that's the best place to start. I mean don't get me wrong, that kind of money won't just fall into your lap without doing any work But the harder you're willing to work at it, the more you stand to earn with it. So if you're looking to get started but don't know which route you should go down or which program you should join and don't want to waste money on bogus things that don't actually work , then I'd highly recommend checking out Commission Academy first.
You can learn more about it here. hi, I have been scammed by an Instagram so-called forex trade but I need my money back is there any way I can get my money back please reply me thanks.

Your thoughts? hi dale i had deposited usd and now she ask me to add more for faster trade but i saw a lot if people commenting and had their money back and keep saying she is honest.

There is this guy named Daniel We had a long conversation over Whatsapp and i joined his Free myTeachable course. I registered an account on CityIndex.
